if you remember back in January
I wrote an article on the Angel of The North fishing lakes
(click
here to read the article) and since then I have been following
their progress.
With only 5 days left until the opening I returned to the
lakes to get one last look before the big day to give you
some idea of what to expect. The most noticeable difference
is the bridge to the match island, where supporting railings
have been added. |
The surrounding area has been improved with new grass, flowers
and an electronic gate. The site is secure with 24 CCTV in operation.
The easiest way ensure you have access is to book your ticket online
via the website (website address below) where you will be given
a security code to for the gate.
Buy Bait on Site
I have also been informed that the bait rule has been
changed and you will now be allowed to use variety of different
baits, not just pellets. For more details on the baits please contact
Ann on 0191 4100449 who will be more then happy to help.

Happy Fishing we now have the most FANTASTIC FISH
I would say in the NORTH of ENGLAND
I had a good look around all the 3 lakes and was impressed with
the amount of fish in each lake. There was a lot of carp movement
especially on the smaller lake where I spotted around 12 carp coming
up to the surface.
Here are some pictures of the fish:
Lookout Lake stocked Rudd aged 4 beautiful fish, Golden
Rudd stunning 4 years old, Tench from 5 lbs and Lots of 2 lbs to
5 lbs...Crucian Carp from 2 lbs 4 oz and lots to 3 lbs 11 oz some
cracking fish. Bream of six inch to about 1.5 lbs some great fish,
Carp from 12oz to 2 lbs and our Ghost Carp average weight 7 lbs
wow some stunningly beautiful fish, Golden Tench what bonny and
delightful fish, 8 to 10 inches and some well over 10 inches. Perch
and Roach also has been stocked
Bowes was stocked with large numbers of fish at an
average weight of 5lbs 4oz common, mirror, ghost and Leather Carp
of superb quality. Large numbers of fish of 16lbs to 20 lbs 4 oz
again Common, Ghost, Mirror and some Leather, And our crackers of
60 fish 21 lbs to 30 lbs 8 oz added to our 12oz to 2 lbs and five
high 30s WOW!!!! So now we just need the fish to settle and feed
well before opening.
Bassetts Fully Stocked the owners were privileged
to get Golden Tench 6 to 8 inches what colours these are, Golden
Orff some stunners, Rudd, Golden Rudd magical fish, and Crucian
Carp adding to Tench, Carp, Bream, etc so a fantastic selection
of magical fish, with some excellent sizes this will be a good second
mixed coarse pond for the angler who still comes fishing in foul
weather, as it is the most sheltered pond.

Swans found a new home!
The lakes will open at 7am on Saturday 30th April
2005. As there will be a limited number of fishing spots I recommend
you pre-book your tickets to avoid disappointment.
